Richard Falk, Prof. Emeritus of International Law Princeton University, and U.N. Human Rights Rapporteur to the Palestinian Occupied Territories assesses the Israel Palestine conflict on U.S.S. Liberty Day June 8, 2012.
"I think if we want to live on this planet successfully we have to more and more think as humans not as Americans, not as Jews or Christians or Muslims. We have to retain the pride of those identities, but they have to be part of a human experience, and the more that we allow ourselves to be human, the more likely we are to take suffering seriously. And when we take suffering seriously, we become inevitably committed to the struggle for justice."
Recorded at University Temple United Methodist Church in Seattle, WA.
